How many types of Alaska cruises are there?

Alaska is the most popular cruise destination in the world. Many of the cities in Southeast Alaska visited by cruise ships are inaccessible by car, and the most spectacular parts of Alaska can be seen from the sea.

Due to the constraints of geographical climate, port and environmental protection policies, Alaska is usually sold at a higher price than cruise ships in other sea areas during the same period. The Alaska cruise season only runs from April to September, and demand is high despite the short season, so the earlier you book an Alaska cruise, the better. Many cruise companies deploy their own ships to operate in this area during the sailing season. Xiaoqi has sorted out the ship deployment situation of the major cruise companies in Alaska in 2018. Each company has its own characteristics in terms of ships, route design, and sea-land combination. It is for your reference.
